Introduction

What is RSS? – RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication which is an XML based format used for content distribution and syndication and can also be viewed as a mini API to the Metacafe database.

Why should I, as a Webmaster, use RSS? – RSS lets you define a certain query that will run through the Metacafe Video catalog, retrieving only the relevant items according to your query parameters or according to predefined parameters.
